Glaude I would be intrigued to know exactly what Tim Mosso got wrong in the videos you examined. A few examples of his mistakes would be appreciated.

I would have to look at them again and find it, it's mostly terminology terms that he get wrong, but each manufacturer will use another term to describe the same thing, so it's not an easy task. I have nothing special against him, he has the merit to exist.

If I find an example in his future video, I'll post it there (It's only little things)

If Mosso would only take away with that f-ing stupid looking glasses, inside without any sun.

Its just an eyesore being forced to watch that.

So I ,ich prefer the vids done without his face.

Watch finder & co , MY FAVO . He can sell me anything lol . I have learned so much

I have to agree. The research that goes into their videos, not to mention the photography, is simply outstanding and actually really like the narrators voice...! Really great, entertaining and educational videos.

TGV - do not like. Paid shill.

I used to like TGV when he was doing down to earth reviews (of watches and other "gentleman" accessories) a couple of years back, before the hype around him started.

Now he's just a paid Microbrand shill....
And his knowledge of watches is... Let's call it very limited.

I hate him with a passion nowadays

TGV... looks like David Bowie during the The Thin White Duke period. Now that WatchBox hypes him, the aristocratic superiority of TGV has run to his head, and he has become in part brain dead. I am waiting for the next economic crash to wipe out all of these You Tube watch clowns, and they have to go back to regular jobs like the most of us. At that point, RWI will be invaded by hoards of people who had to sell their gens to pay their retirement and are looking for the best Sub as a replacement.

Very good summary. I stick with Hodinkee and ABlogToWatch. Most of the time I just watch the Watch Repair Channel.

I must agree with your assessment of Theo & Harris. While their instagram is great and I am a follower of both the official and Christian’s personal accounts, I think he’s way over his head and quite repetitive at times. Also, he is a bit too full of himself for my taste and he isn’t as stylish as he thinks he is. And no, Gucci loafers aren’t that nice Christian. LOL. He can be pretty funny at times though.

Just because you sell watches doesn’t mean you actually can do videos about them. That’s what Hodinkee and ABTW are there for.

Never liked CRM jewelers. Always found him annoying.

Another shout out for "Watch Repair Channel." For my interests the BEST watch-related YouTube channel, and the one I spend the most time on. It is also the best channel to put on to get your girlfriend to fall asleep, if she will even allow you to switch to it. "And now we must be very careful in selecting the proper screw to insert into this slot for the main plate" is not exactly something most people consider fun to watch.
While I quit my membership and subscription to Hodinkee, their videos benefit quite alot from superior production and "A List" guests who have interesting stories to tell. So I also watch those as well.
The success story of Hodinkee is probably the inspiration for many of the follow-on independents who started up their own channel, but I also think it has alot to do with people like Gary Vaynerchuk, who did the same thing on You Tube but with luxury wine, through his "Wine Library TV" channel, and now runs a mid-size online marketing consultancy channel and writes inspirational how-to-succeed books, etc.

They each appeal to different people at different times. I watch them all depending on my mood and whether or not I am researching for a potential purchase or simply looking to pass time and/or view some watch porn.
